Joey Loops Okay so I think (?) this is about a breakup or something, but honestly I love this song because you could apply it all over. I'm thinking of pretty much US political news story, for example. Or arguing with my sister. Or the experience of interacting with The Public while working a customer service job.

lyrics

I made myself a fool last night
Hanging meaning on each shot fired in this fight
Its beautiful if you look at it just right
The world is simple when there’s only two sides
Cheering for the home team
Is it any wonder
That even more than winning
I cheer for your surrender
Unequivocally
Memorizing come-backs, quips, and lines
And we’re waving flags, by god, by birth, by right
Its beautiful if you haven’t got much time
The world makes sense when there are only wrong and right
Cheering for the home team
Is it any wonder
That even more than winning
I cheer for your surrender
Unequivocally yours
I can see through your performance
You can see that, god, I need this
Fight to feel I finally matter
Found my group, now fuck the other side of me
That seems to be just like you
Cheering for the home team
Is it any wonder
That even more than winning
You cheer for my surrender
Cheering for the home team
Is it any wonder
That even more than winning
I cheer for your surrender
Unequivocally
